April 4, 2003 (The Sunday Herald) - A group of Chilean farmers are hunting vampires after their chickens died mysteriously. The farmers, from Donihue, claimed 200 were found with all the blood drained from their bodies. A police spokesman said: "The farmers are very scared. They organised a group and went out to hunt what they believe is a vampire.

"But the vets are investigating and they will come up with a normal explanation for the deaths, I'm sure."

Cristina Saldia and Carmen Cortes, owners of two of the farms, told La Cuarta online: "It is spooky, there wasn't a drop of blood left inside the chickens. Some say it was a vampire and others that it was an alien."

When the truth hurts

How do you see me?
You used to call me friend.
But I told you what I am,
And now you call me a freak.

How do you feel about me?
You used to say you loved me.
But now you know the real me,
You look at me with disgust.

Why do you shun me?
We used to be inseparable.
But since I told you how it is,
You avoid me all the time.

Why do you fear me?
You used to say I made you safe.
But now you know the needs I have,
I see in you only mistrust.

Why forsake me now?

Poet in motion

These knees have been scarred by the faith
Flowing through the veins of a fragile man
Fingers purple, interlaced and woven
Head bowed and broken by repentance
Wounds healed with grace and love
Ripped open again by ignorant sin
Wishing only brings about another torment
Luck exists only through logic
Enlightenment comes through the touch of a hand
Believe, ask, know it shall be
One breath brings in chaos
Another allows this silent peace
